several days of seeding have finally got me back above 1.0 and out of trouble with leecherslair. just to rub it in, they sent me a message reminding me that this is bad behaviour and i should avoid this in the future. the oink folks were so much nicer copyright violators... i also noticed that one of their criteria for being an uploader is 2mb upload speed. i mean, come on, most of us dsl peons can hadly get 2mb down. oh well, as groucho marx said, i wouldn't want to be part of a club that would have me as a member.
